How view '\t' (tab) sign in HTML document?

Question

I know, that i can insert it in 'pre' tag, but is there any other solution?

PS.

When I add it is printed as space.

You want to view the character (to see where it's used) in the document, or you want to *use* a tab character in the document (to line up content, or whatever)? — David Thomas, Mar 10 '13 at 14:13
I would like to see tab sign in my page, but web browser changes it to space. — Michał Bożydar Pawłowski, Mar 10 '13 at 14:15
There is no tab sign. The HORIZONTAL TAB character (which you apparently mean by ‘\t’) is a control character that may affect layout but has no visible glyph. So what exactly do you want? — Jukka K. Korpela, Mar 10 '13 at 14:56

Use & emsp; (without space, as html entity) to put a emphasized space... Similar to tab character &t

Upvoted because you explained *emsp* meaning too: **em**phasized **sp**ace. – j.c Feb 17 '17 at 13:37
@j.c "em" does not mean "emphasized", but is a measure of width in typography – tbhartman Apr 23 '20 at 23:56

1 &nbsp = 1 WhiteSpace Character

1 &ensp = 2 &nbsp (2 WhiteSpace Characters)

1 &emsp = 2 &ensp (4 WhiteSpace Characters or TAB)
